Katha is an organization that connects grassroots work in education in India and since 1990, it has driven its education model on a single powerful idea: Children can bring change that is sustainable and real, which is in strong alignment with the goal of OLPC. Katha runs 71 schools in slum communities with more than 200,000 children. For more information you can refer http://www.katha.org

XO laptops were deployed at Katha Khazana, one of the school setup by Katha in a slum community at New Delhi. The school is marked by its distinctive atmosphere creating a rich learning experience for students ranging from pre-nursery grade to 12th grade, which was further enriched when OLPC, India distributed XOs to the school children on 21st January.

Katha means story in Hindi. 00:00:00
This is truly a story of a Khazana, which means treasure, the treasure with which our 00:00:11
children are supposed to build the future of our nation. 00:00:17
The innovative spirit at Katha overwhelms you as soon as you get past its gate. 00:00:21
The architecture of the building, to the paintings all over its walls, to the names given to 00:00:27
myriad learning activities, and the feel, the way children relate to their environment. 00:00:33
It was started in the slum of Gobindpuri in South Delhi by Geeta Dharmarajan. 00:00:40
It is one of the most notable efforts to help slum children become as skilled as the best 00:00:46
anywhere in their age group. 00:00:52
This is the first day of the One Laptop Per Child program, when 30 laptops are handed 00:00:55
over to the children as they assemble, to explore what it can mean to them. 00:01:01
They have been assembled in this room, representing various grades, age groups, and as you can 00:01:09
see, they seem immersed in exploring its various features, from visual to audio, to the various 00:01:15
functions. 00:01:24
This child is measuring the distance between two chosen laptops. 00:01:33
This one is learning how to say her name. 00:01:46
They sit under the winter sun and can work on the laptop without glare. 00:01:53
They are eager to learn, share, explore, enjoy. 00:01:58
This is Rao, harnessing the creativity, excitement, and innovating capabilities of the children 00:02:17
as she teaches them color illustration. 00:02:24
Ajay, the computer teacher, is struck by the networking capabilities of the laptop, including 00:02:46
formatting, animation, and programming that a child can create. 00:03:15
Ajay, the computer teacher, is struck by the networking capabilities of the laptop, including 00:03:45
formatting, animation, and programming that a child can create. 00:03:55
This teacher has created a program to help children play. 00:04:05
Ajay, the computer teacher, is struck by the networking capabilities of the laptop, including 00:04:26
formatting, animation, and programming that a child can create. 00:04:41
As Mr. Satish Jha put it, 00:04:54
I am excited about One Laptop per Child and I support the program in India and wherever I am needed. 00:04:57
I'm looking at about 30 million children in India reaching out and accessing screen-based learning 00:05:03
with the help of this laptop that we've created. 00:05:12
Professor Negroponte heard the voice and the need of India, the voice of children and the need of what 00:05:15
India needs to do seven years back, and he projected it into the future. 00:05:22
We created something, he created something, Media Lab created something, which is a phenomenal product. 00:05:28
What we can do is use it. By using it, we just might transform the way India learns. 00:05:34
The future of India could depend on how our children learn how to use primarily screen-based techniques. 00:05:41
Unless we learn how to use screens, we are not going to be part of the world citizenship in times to come. 00:05:51
And digital divide has made it very difficult for us. 00:05:58
In fact, every day the divide is getting wider, deeper, broader. 00:06:01
It's already considered to be a chasm. 00:06:07
If that's the case, we have to take very, very definitive steps, and I think it's a great step. 00:06:10
If we can work with this technology, it's the cheapest possible way of making India different, computer, world-class in learning. 00:06:16
And I hope our leaders, our chief ministers, our policy planners, our education secretaries, our technology visionaries, 00:06:25
they see the merit of it and move forward with it. 00:06:35
But a child learns from ground zero. 00:06:38
A child needs a very different level of capacities, tools, and skills. 00:06:41
And we have seen in 60 years of India's independence that we are still way behind our initial target of universal education. 00:06:46
The quality of education is so poor that kids who are in high schools, they may not have touched or seen computers. 00:06:56
Now, if you're going to work on computers and you haven't seen computers, what will happen to us? 00:07:03
What good are we going to be? 00:07:08
The basic issue is that our education hasn't kept pace with the changes which have come about in the global ways of educating, learning, and skill-building as such. 00:07:10
We have to step up in this direction as such. 00:07:22
So I would say that, well, we all have to see the potential of this technology come together and move forward. 00:07:25
I think it's everybody's job, and we are trying to reach out to the government, to corporate sector, to looking at corporate social responsibilities, 00:07:33
non-government organizations, foundations, high-network individuals, nearly everyone. 00:07:41
We have to reach out to them to make them understand. 00:07:47
If we don't have a citizenship of people who understand the skills of today, we will not be able to honorably call ourselves members of the global society. 00:07:49
So for that reason, if we don't have the skills, we won't be as productive as that. 00:08:00
We need, we're predicting millions of people who we need in the next 10 years to support the global process that has become world-sourcing. 00:08:05
And that will not happen unless we have the skills. 00:08:14
Right now, we're already way behind that curve. 00:08:16
So we have to move forward. 00:08:19
So I would say that each of us has to participate in this process, whatever we have, whatever we can do at any point in time. 00:08:20
The budget, give it. If you can donate, please do. 00:08:27
If you have social responsibility budgets, please donate it to schools. 00:08:30
Adopt a village, adopt a block, adopt a district, adopt a state, depending on the capacities you have, move forward. 00:08:35
